EASTON, Pa. (www.lafayette.edu) - Lafayette sophomore quarterback Marko Glavic (Pickering, Ontario/St. Mary Catholic) earned the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts in the Leopards' 31-14 win over Columbia this past Saturday.
Glavic, the 2000 Patriot League Rookie of the Year, earns the conference's offensive player of the week accolade for the first time in his career. He recorded career-highs in completions (30), passing yards (302), and total offense (330) as he directed Lafayette's offense to its most productive contest of the season.
The 302-yard passing performance was Glavic's ninth 200-yard game in 12 career starts and it was Lafayette's first 300-yard effort since Shawn McHale '96 threw for 370 yards at Fordham in the 1994 season.

With his 302 passing yards vs. Columbia, Glavic moved into sixth place on Lafayette's list of all-time passing yardage leaders with 2,888 career yards.
